Disclaimer: I only own the plot bunnies nothing else…..the characters belong to the holy cow.
He wasn't such a kid anymore, not the loud bash kid who outshined every other alchemist but had a temper that rivaled the seven sins themselves. Edward, the golden eyed blond boy… one of the famed alchemist Hohenhiem's sons, who abandoned him and his brother. The brothers who performed the ultimate taboo and survived somehow…even up now he never understood how.
Rokugatsu no uso me no mae no hontou
Sepia ni shimaikomi
Yorisou to kanukumori to ka
Wakaranaku natteta.
Was it the gate's mercy, or their father's bloodline that saved them, Mustang wondered after learning about what the boys had done. When he and Hawkeye went that day, it was to find the famed yet undetectable Hohenhiem but what they found that day was a tragedy that should have never happened, a boy who lost all hope, and another stuck in a suit of armor.

Kikiakita hazu na no ni
The small golden eyed boy, with a missing arm and leg, dimmed eyes that saw no future. Seeing that, he just, just lost it, how could a child do that and survive, how could a child looked like death after facing itself…it wasn't right. He yelled at him, grabbed him by the collar, weather by impulse or gate forbid some greater force, he offered the boy a place in the military. He questioned his sanity and motives then, but the offer has already been given.
Nariyamanai;
Youshanai omoidetachi wa
Yurushitekuresou ni mo nai
Me wo tojireba ikioi wa masu bakari de toomaki de, kimi ga warau
Two years later, he met the child again, this time with fire and determination in his eyes. Turning out to be few of the selected alchemists going into the military that year. The other colonels wanted him under their care but he knows they will only utilize him as if he was a weapon, a tool. It took weeks of petitioning, but Mustang had the "full metal alchemist" under his care, although the boy was different from the one that he remembered the years before.
Ame wa itsuka yamu no deshou ka ?
Zuibun nagai aida tsumetai
Ame wa doushite boku wo erabu no ?
Nigeba no nai boku wo erabu no ?
As time went by, he noticed many of the quirks that the brat had, such as calling him a bastard whenever the opportunity arrived. Short rants that go on forever and are always original, and how much the people's alchemist despised milk. Always keeping the colonel entertaining…but other times he didn't understand how trouble followed him so.
Yatto mitsuketa atarashii asa wa
Tsukihi ga jama wo suru
Mukau saki wa
"Tsugi" ja nakute
"Sugi" bakari oikaketa
The seven sins, homunculi, undead humans. How in the name of the truth did he got involved in such a scandal. They went after him…even though he had little to defend himself with and the will to lose everything if he could to get his brother back….when Alphonse showed up in his human form in his office, he expected the loud bash youth to follow, but he never came.
Nagusame karakikkake wo kureta kimi to urameshiku kowagari na boku
Sorosoro ka na... Tesaguri tsukareta hou wo Kattou ga koboreochiru...
Another two years, he saw the child again, he had grown and matured, but his stay was never permanent…but this time his brother left with him, that's all he could do for them.
Kako wo shiritagaranai hitomi Arainagashite kureru yubi...
Yasashii hohaba de iyasu kizuato Todokisou de todokanai kyori
Ame wa itsuka yamu no deshou ka ?
Zuibun nagai aida tsumetai
Ame wa doushite boku wo erabu no ? Tsutsumarete ii ka na
Ame wa yamu koto wo shirazu ni
Kyou mo furitsuzuku keredo

Author's note: The song and lyrics are from Rain, and this is cross over between the two versions of FMA, since this is set around before the FMA movie from Mustang's perspective. So review.
DID YOU KNOW: CNN complains about China too much, and is extremely bias about it. Since I've studied English media before, it promotes a very narrow view, with extreme media bias. Focusing on the tiny things in China when sooo many bigger things are going on in the US. If you're American, don't be offended, but since I'm Chinese and it took so much time criticizing my home county, I'm going to sum up the major global conflicts each county faces, if I list all the minor ones I could finish my one shots with it. America External Conflict: Iraq war, Afghanistan war, Libya, 14 trillion debt to other countries and federal reserve (whatever that is), trying to police the world, bring the US currency down, and nuclear radiation fear although it's half way across the world. Internal conflicts: religion taking over politics (last posting), birthers, education decline such as southern states teaching creationism, Arizona banning ethic studies, some city making chess a mandatory course, crazy people making online videos and misrepresenting Americans, two parties that don't have the will of the people at mind, only corporations, and a president who isn't doing too well, not based on race but by his actions….going on too many TV shows and have already started campaigning…two years before the next election. Now China external conflict: radiation fear from Japan. Internal conflicts: small matters that CNN is either misrepresenting or emphasizing on the negative aspects such as "not being able to practice religion" when there are also blogs in CNN complaining about how religion overtook politics, hypocrites. You may think this is bias because I'm Chinese but I've read and seen other American media, it really is the most unbelievable one. It's using the same argument that Maclean's "Too Asian" article used, blaming the people that are willing to work when the only thing the US is exporting is weapons, not saying that people aren't willing to work…but China have more man power and brain power. Which makes it sound ridiculous when someone says that we're coping of the US, the education system is also harder. And for the worker's right thing, blame the corporations, I know someone who owns a factory there and are taking care of their workers. And some views are unbelievable, some people actually want the two countries to go to war, one of the comment, "let's nuke them," the only way to kill so many people is by nuclear, do they want WWIII: Death of the Planet? And "let's show the chinks where they belong," wow, racism at its best, you can't beat them….degrade them? honestly, right now the American government is not a beacon of democracy, rather corruption…as showed. But to be frank to me…it feels like Germany after WWI, why, government overprinting currency, check. Blaming other people for the country's problems, CNN check. Every government have problems, but communism is not always the problem since even in a democracy they can arrest you, Canada G20, and either Arizona or Texas have given the policemen too much power over illegal or legal immigrants, if you been to China or see some of the shows, you see that media like CNN is corrupting the young minds from seeing other cultures….and the Chinese media only mentions the US when related to more wars or weapons nothing more…..ironic.
And just in case you think I'm making things up, I've watched Chinese, Canadian, American, Taiwanese news, and the first three from a variety of programs… that's why this segment started. ^.^ And sorry this segment is so long, but the truth is never in the media, you have to see a variety to find the truth…so with all the negativity from CNN about China, I am in a way rebottling it….with so many problems in your own home, can you lecture other people?
